From why use DTP, to who uses it, to Software used in DTP, the author
Bittu Kumar takes you through all fundamental elements necessary for
performing a good job with Desktop Publishing. Aided by stepbystep

is the DTP project designed to do? 2. What is the project designed to
communicate? 3. What format will best communicate the project's message?
4. What design constraints does the project budget impose? 5. What
design techniques will help the viewer understand the project's message?
It also briefly informs you how to put these five graphic design tools
Space, Fonts, Color, Illustration & Photography and Consistency to good
use when designing and executing a desktop publishing work.
